Another Arcadia Online

December. A full winter is upon us.

It doesn't snow where I live, but it doesn't change the cold.

"Tsubi...... I can't log in today..."

Something nasty was offending my body at this time of year.

It takes every year. Flu. It was very early this year though. Anyway, I got the flu. Flu............. I can't have you come to Pearl State... Sleep tight......

"... but some of them don't know their skills yet, and I'd love to..."

If it's a little bit, okay?

That's what I thought. I tried to take headgear.

But that was a mistake. I'm flustered, so I don't have much of a sense of balance. Accidentally, I dropped my headgear on the floor. And I let it go......

Baki!

I heard an ominous noise.

My head is so debilitated that I can't understand what just happened.

... I did it.

What's in front of me was headgear. The wreckage is rolling.

"... what shall we do"

Now that I can't even rotate this head, I couldn't do anything anymore.

Pick up the wreckage, put it on your desk, and lie down in bed again.

... headgear was broken when I noticed it.

"Huh!?

I got a weird voice.

Hey, why is your headgear broken!? Who did this......

... Ah, it's me.

I think I stepped on something when I could. Then maybe I stepped on it then... Yes, no. Beautiful bell comes in, breaks it and stays... No, Mizuki would say it right.

…………

Seriously?

What. Oh, no, huh?

"What do we do!? What are you doing, me!?

You can't do A2O with this!?

What are you gonna do! Uh, uh, stay, what do I do first... Shh, talk to Pearl State!

"Broke the headgear, huh?

I looked a little scared when I told Pearl State that.

Oh, yeah, right. It would be uncomfortable if it was destroyed because of what Pearl gave me. Oh, let's apologize.

"Sorry! Looks like I stepped on it when my consciousness was hazy!

"You tried to do it when you were flu..."

"Ha, maybe like that?

I don't remember.

"Ha... I'm glad you're in the game, but I can't just pay for the repairs. As for the headgear, you can send it to HQ, and I think the game data is still on the A2O server."

"Pearl...!

"Just can you pay for the repairs?

"... how much?

Even the headgear body is expensive, but repairs are expensive. Can I pay for it...

"It depends on the level of damage. Let me see. Something broken."

So show him the wreckage on his desk by showing him to my room.

Then Pearl soon turned to me.

"I think it's cheaper to buy this."

"... Yes"

Then I'll buy it.

I wonder if I have money...... Then I guess I'll work part-time. I want to do it now, and with the policy of borrowing money from my parents and paying them back part-time.

Hey, let's talk about this for a second!
